About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted dress with short sleeves and a belt at the waist. The dress has a dark green base with splashes of orange-brown paint that look like flowers or leaves. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the right, there’s a quick sketch of the dress’s back view, showing the same pattern. The title *Déjeuner sur l’herbe* (which means "Lunch on the Grass") hints this might be a fashion sketch for a summery outfit. The loose, brushy lines give it a quick, almost doodle-like feel. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
